If PCS is the favorite, give me the underdog in this one. I think Mize will find a way to win late game in a close one. It could go either way though.

Enterprise should beat SEL by 4-5 TD’s. Key word should. Enterprise is an average to below-average 2A team, but SEL is one of the worst teams not only in 3A but the state. I don’t think they’re that bad.

I heard that he did first drive. #16 played the rest of the game at QB for them.

Dropped kickoff that Stringer recovered was a huge turning point as well.

I think Clarkdale may be better. They handled Resurrection pretty easily last night, but Resurrection is not a very good team. Them and Stringer play next week, so that’ll be a good look. Clarkdale does have a first year head coach, and I heard they have one of the biggest teams in school history numbers wise. Nevertheless it will still be Enterprise and Clarkdale for 4th in that district.

Better get ready for Southeast Lauderdale next week. Y’all may underestimate them too.

Come on man. Just go ahead and say you’re a sore loser. Both times made countless mistakes and penalties. The better team won.

I agree. Thought that was pretty impressive. Maybe things are looking up for them.

It’s gonna be a long year for Taylorsville. I’m predicting 0-5 going into district play unless they can beat North Forrest.

This is very possible tbh.

Mize 27 Taylorsville 13.

This didn’t age very well.

Stringer 34-22 1:42 left.

Stringer 26 Enterprise 16 8:59 left in 4th. Stringer scores then Enterprise fumbles kickoff and Stringer scores again.

Enterprise 16 Stringer 12 end 3rd. Stringer driving.

Enterprise 9 Stringer 6 halftime. Stringer receives to start 2nd half.

Stringer 6 Enterprise 2 after 1 quarter. Stringer snapped out of the back of the end zone on a punt.

I’ll give y’all score updates.

They may have finished 5-7 last year, but the previous 3 years combined they only had 6 wins total. Without Brady coming in and changing the culture completely, there’s a good chance that same losing culture would have continued. Last year for Stringer was about completely rebuilding the mess that they had and getting back to the basics. This year is about learning how to win. Like you said, they haven’t had a winning season in several years (2018 unless you count COVID year). That will change this year. All of Stringer’s non district games (weak or not) were put on the schedule with an intention of winning or being extremely competitive including Enterprise. Am I saying Stringer is going to beat Enterprise? Not necessarily, but I feel confident that Stringer will compete for 4 quarters and if Enterprise does win it will be earned for sure. Right now, Stringer is not back to being an elite 1A program by any means, but if anything they are on the right track.

Heidelberg @ Noxubee sticks out to me. Battle of the titans. Curious to see how Heidelberg fares in Macon.

I think Enterprise and Stringer will be much closer than 28-6. I know you are biased, and I may be a little bit too, but IMO it should be a close one. Otherwise not a bad list actually for the most part.

As we are approaching Week 1, I thought I would compile a list of the Top 20 biggest games to watch in the state IMO 1A-7A. These games are in no particular order. This list may be small school and also south heavy because that’s what i’m more familiar with. Feel free to add to this list and submit your picks on who you think comes out on top in some of these matchups. Lots of good matchups this week regardless of class. Biggersville @ West Lowndes Lumberton @ Purvis Mize @ Taylorsville Vardaman @ Nanih Waiya Enterprise Clarke @ Stringer Choctaw County @ East Webster JDC @ MRA Heidelberg @ Noxubee County Raleigh @ D’iberville Quitman @ Kemper County Columbia @ Hartfield Academy Seminary @ West Lauderdale Kosciusko @ Neshoba Central West Point @ Louisville Laurel @ West Jones Hattiesburg @ Petal Picayune @ Gulfport Tupelo @ Brandon Oak Grove @ Starkville Germantown @ Northwest Rankin

Thank you for that. I figured the O-Line plus inexperience of QB would be a weak ish link for them this season. I’m sure he will develop as the season goes on. He has plenty of athletes around him and a tough defense that will make that process a little easier. Their first 5 games are rough though. Especially Raleigh and Heidelberg back to back weeks.

Makes sense. How did Tville look? I heard they played well defensively, but it looks like they got a lot of help.

I had heard about Forest but did not know about Lumberton. That would’ve been a good matchup. I saw they beat Magee 7-0 I think. It does suck that it left y’all only getting a quarter a piece.
